Yes, those icons do look bad! It must be something about your system. I know in Linux, it's relatively easy to change the theme and/or icons. It's what I've heard, but I don't know exactly how.
Maybe you should wait for the final release (which I don't think the versions uploaded in the gallery today are the final releases)?
Actually they are :-)
Then if the icons are still not right, developers can help to sort it out?
Just a thought :-)
All best,, brynn

start inkscape edit-> preferences -> Interface
on both the Windows and Linux systems the default was:
toolbox icon size: large control bar icon size: small secondary toolbar icons size: small
Changing the "toolbox icon size" also to small makes the icons smaller in both cases, but on Linux the spacing is still large and changes very little. For instance, the rectangle icon is 5.5 mm wide in a 14mm wide box (inner edge of outer frame to thin grey line separating the ruler)with the original settings and 4.5mm wide in a 12mm wide box with all small. For r15016 on windows that same icon with the original settings is 5.5m wide in an 11mm wide box (inner edge of outer frame to closest part of the ruler) and 4.0mm wide in a 10mm wide box with all small. For all small, the space between the bottom of the rectangle draw icon and the 3d box draw icon is 2.5mm on Windows and 5mm on Linux.
This really needs a picture to show how different these look:
http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/pickup/inkscape_icon_size_spacing.pngThis shows r15016 on windows (upper left) and r15387 (lower right) one on top of the other. You can see that the icon spacing is very different with a lot of wasted space in the Linux version. The icon spacing in r9939 (the Ubuntu distributed one) is very close to the Windows version and isn't shown.
